The Minister of the Federal Capital Territory and former Governor of Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, on Thursday night confirmed that the political crisis between him and Governor Siminalayi Fubara has been resolved.
Wike disclosed this to journalists after a closed-door reconciliation meeting at the Presidential Villa in Abuja, which was brokered by President Bola Tinubu.
According to the FCT Minister, both camps have reached a final agreement to put their differences aside and work in unity.
“We have all agreed to work together with the governor, and the governor also agreed to work together with all of us. We are members of the same political family,” Wike stated.
He acknowledged that the disagreement had persisted for several months but maintained that Thursday’s resolution marked the end of hostilities.
“Yes, just like humans, you have a disagreement, and then you also have a time to settle your disagreement,” he said. “And that has been finally concluded today, and we have come to report to Mr. President that this is what we have agreed. So for me, everything is over.”
Wike also called on political supporters on both sides to remain calm and embrace unity going forward.
“I enjoin everybody who believes to work with us, to also work together with everybody. There’s no more acrimony. There’s nothing to say,” he added.
